Jessica Biel rebelled on ’7th Heaven’ set

The beauty was just 14 years old when she began playing the straight-edged daughter of a Protestant minister on the family-friendly drama back in 1996.

But Biel confesses she went through a wild stage in her teens and her bad behavior often sent show bosses into fits of rage.

She tells W magazine, “I cut my hair supershort and dyed it blonde. I had to apologize to (producer) Aaron Spelling for doing that. He wasn’t happy.

“When I turned 17 or 18, a really obnoxious friend sent a stripper to the set. I had to apologize for that, too. The show was all about family values, and they took that position seriously. I was always apologising.”

Biel was written out of the program during the show’s fifth season due to her alleged discontent with character Mary’s clean-cut image and growing tensions with producers after she posed semi-nude for Gear magazine at the age of 17.
